<p>Do you need to do financial aid before admission results, or can you give them details after you are admitted? What is the general procedure for prospective students?</p>
<p>Yes, you should apply for financial aid before the admissions decisions are released. FOr the most part, financial aid decisions are given either with the admissions decisions or a few days later. IF you wait until decisions are made before applying for aid, with the exception of schools that have a lot of institutional aid to give, you could end up without aid other than loans.</p>
<p>I would advise that you check the financial aid website at the schools where you are applying and meet the deadline when it comes to applying for aid.</p>
